Genius female chimpanzee found to be smarter than U.S. high school students

Brave New Schools. A chimpanzee is now smarter than American high school students.

A twenties-something "genius ape" named Natasha has been found to demonstrate more intelligence than a typical U.S. high school student. The findings have been published in the peer-reviewed science journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B.

As the paper documents, Natasha repeatedly demonstrates skills and reasoning that escape modern-day high school students.
